Euler's Method Explained with MATLAB

Euler's Method approximates solutions to differential equations using the first two terms of a Taylor series. The document provides a MATLAB implementation example, including the setup of parameters and the application of Euler's formula to compute values. It also demonstrates how to plot the results alongside the analytical solution derived from the differential equation.

Euler's Method

Euler's Method assumes our solution is written in the form


of a Taylor's Series. That is, we'll have a function of the
form:

For Euler's Method, we just take the first 2 terms only.
